Additonally, many cars will age well if you only drive them 2 or 3 thousand miles a year.
BTW, how could you afford an original Cobra. I am not trying to be a smart ass.

The biggest reason why they are trying to sell the Viper name is because those cars get 10 mpg on a good day, if you don't drive it hard. If you drive it hard, you get around 8mpg.
A 3,200 pound car, with an 8 liter V10 that gets around 550 hp and 550lb torque with bad fuel economy that costs $80,000 will not sell well with today's high fuel prices.
All of these numbers might not be exactly right, but that are close, since I am basing them on an article that I read in a car magazine a while ago about the Viper.

I forgive but I can't forget. Now what?

- Written by Lucy Shaw
Dear Lucy: I have been ill for some time. I read your articles and you have said that the most important part of healing is forgiveness. I have tried to forgive those who have hurt me so much but I cannot forget what they did to me. My pastor says that when we forgive it is not complete until we forget. How do you forget?
– Still Sick
Dear Still Sick: Most of us have been told that forgetting and forgiving go hand in hand. I don't agree. Memories always live in us at some level, conscious or unconscious. There are many things I thought I had forgotten only to have them pop up one day under unexpected provocation.
It is not that we forgive and miraculously forget the slight or the hurt. What we must do is forgive and also let go of the sting, resentment, vengefulness and anger over the memory of the hurtful event.

For me, nothing could eclipse my happiness for Lupita Nyong'o when she won her Oscar as Best Supporting Actress a few nights ago. I was not only thrilled for her but for the profound, timely and necessary message brought to the world by the movie, "12 Years a Slave." This young woman has taken Hollywood and the movie-viewing world with her extraordinary poise and humility wrapped around her awesome talent.
What may not be widely known is that just a few days before her Oscar win, Lupita received an award at the seventh annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon hosted by Essence Magazine. Her award was for Best Breakthrough Performance. On this occasion she delivered the speech below.
I concur with most who heard it that it is (sadly in 2014) a speech about beauty and self-image that every young brown, black, red or yellow girl should get to hear. It was first posted online by Time Magazine. I found a video and transcript at upworthy.com.

In all organized sports, there are clearly defined rules that must be adhered to. In all universities, there are clearly stated guidelines for admittance. In all religions, there are shared beliefs that all members must adhere to. Without these clearly defined rules of engagement (ROEs), there can be no order within groups; and without order there is nothing left but chaos.
Groups and organizations, by definition are all predicated upon certain agreed upon principles and values. These agreed upon principles and values are the raison d'etre of these entities.
You join the Boy Scouts, for example, because you are a boy and you join the Girl Scouts because you are a girl. You are a male because you are born with a penis and you are a girl because you are born with a vagina. These things used to be unquestioned statements of fact.
Teachers are key to our children's success

- Written by Pastor DeAndre Brown/Special to The New Tri-State Defender
As a pastor and longtime member of the Frayser community, I have a strong interest in seeing our children do well in school. And although I believe their success is driven by a range of factors such as class sizes and the availability of good texts and other materials, I also know that having a great teacher is the most important school-based factor in student achievement.
Research in a recent report by Shepherding the Next Generation shows that a student assigned to an excellent teacher may gain more than a full year's worth of additional academic growth compared to a student assigned to a weak teacher. Indeed, a highly effective teacher has a greater impact on achievement than any other factor within the school environment.
That report also examined a Tennessee study that found that an average student with three highly effective teachers scored in the top 10 percent of students after three years, while a similar student with ineffective teachers scored in the bottom 40 percent after the same period of time.

All too often when media coverage speaks of an individual who has been formerly incarcerated, it is usually in a negative context (i.e. arrested again, person of interest, not new to the criminal justice system, lengthy arrest record).
Following this coverage, depending on the gravity of the crime, there may be public outcry as to "why was he/she released in the first place?" As a result, seemingly all offenders are then cast into that same category.
It would be asinine to even suggest every offender returns to society with positive goals and the desire to be a productive member of his/her community. I, too, cringe upon hearing the news of another ex-offender having committed the same or a more appalling crime. Yet, I do contend that amidst that population is a sector with aspirations and hopes of moving forward in their lives!
'Head start' for children merits pre-K sales tax

08 Oct 2013
- Written by Keith Norman/Special to The New Tri-State Defender
If every child in Shelby County is given a head start in life, there is a preponderance of evidence that that child would go on to become a productive member of society – which means skilled workers would be added to the workforce, crime and poverty would decrease, and the need for public assistance would be reduced.
We're at a crossroad where a decision has to be made to bring the aforementioned scenario into reality. But that decision would have to be made by the voters of Memphis via a referendum that will be on the ballot this fall to increase the sales tax by a half-cent. If approved, $47 million could be generated, with about $30 million earmarked for pre-K and $17 million to reduce property tax rates.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is not alone in its support of a half-cent sales tax increase for early childhood education. It is a civil rights issue and one of the NAACP's "5 Game Changers for the 21st Century." There are others in support of this initiative as well, including city officials and a number of education advocates who see the significance and critical need of supporting the education of children at the pre-K level.

"I grew up poor, but I didn't know it."
Many of us have heard and been inspired by rags to riches stories told by adults who overcame risk factors in their childhood, and avoided becoming products of their environment.
Poor upbringing, single-parent family homes, resource-deprived neighborhoods and communities are all conditions that many young children confront, but still manage to excel and beat the odds stacked against them.
So what is it that separates the stories of triumph from those of defeat?
Common Sense Rules: Black Boss Pays Price for Using N-Word at Work
- Details
20 Sep 2013
- Written by Dr. Jason Johnson
There are few social ills in the African American community that can't be solved by listening to a little bit of old Public Enemy. There's a great song on the Apocalypse 91 album called "I Don't Wanna be Called Yo Nigga" The song is pretty simple actually, it's just Flava Flav (the pre - Flavor of Love version) rapping about how he and most black people don't want to be called "Nigga" by anybody, under any circumstances.
How can you say to me, "Yo my nigga!"
Cursin' up a storm with your finger on a trigger
Feelin' all the girls like a big gold digger
Take a small problem
Make a small problem bigger
You say, "Yo; I ain't poor I got dough
You Don't consider me your brother no more?"
Goddamn kilogram, how do you figure
I don't want to be called yo nigga!
The point of the song is that no matter how common the term is amongst black people, and black culture it's still stings and there are very, very few circumstances in which calling somebody "nigger," or "nigga," or "niggaz" is appropriate. Perhaps someone should have explained this to Robert Carmona, the head of the STRIVE work program. It might've saved him $30,000.
Rob Carmona, 61, is the founder and director of STRIVE an employment agency in East Harlem that focuses on helping convicted criminals find work and get back into the economy. Brandi Johnson, 38, was a STRIVE employee. Both are African American. It's not hard to figure that the N-Word was going to come up eventually right?
Apparently on March 14 of 2012 Carmona went on a four-minute expletive and racial slur laden rant on Johnson about her workplace attire and professionalism. However this wasn't the first time that Carmona had gone off on Johnson at work, and because her previous complaints had been ignored she secretly recorded the entire conversation. After the tirade, she claims she ran to the bathroom and cried for 45 minutes. On the stand in her workplace discrimination case she testified: "I was offended. I was hurt. I felt degraded. I felt disrespected. I was embarrassed," At this point this is still a simple discrimination suit, something that happens all of the time in America, just ask Paula Deen, or anybody who's ever worked at Denny's. But the reason ganered national attention is because Rob Carmona and his defense lawyers tried to argue that he was using the term "nigger" as a term of endearment, and since nigger has different meanings in different contexts that he in fact wasn't really creating a hostile work environment for Brandi Johnson.
When asked to be more specific as to why he called her nigger eight times in the span of four minutes Carmona testified he was trying to tell Johnson that she was being "….too emotional, wrapped up in her[self], at least the negative aspects of human nature." You know…. being a nigger. Of course the jury didn't buy his ridiculous story either, and Carmona will pay Johnson $25,000 in punitive damages and STRIVE will pay another $5,000 on top of that.
To be honest with you, if every black person in America got paid $30,000 every time we've been called ''nigger,' collectively or individually I think I'd stop complaining about reparations, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Already many press outlets are reporting this court ruling as some sort of major sea change in language, now that there is no longer this "double-standard" where black people can say "nigger" and white people can't.
This is completely wrong of course and another example of the disingenuous double standard of race that we all still live under. The workplace is the workplace; you are not supposed to use foul language at any job, no matter what race you are, or who happens to be working there that day. If Carmona was a woman and had gone on a four-minute rant calling Brandi Johnson a "bitch" eight times and lost a discrimination suit, nobody would be calling this ruling a sea change in language or culture. Why? Because anyone with a lick of common sense and professionalism knows that words like bitch, faggot and especially nigger, may be okay when you're joking with your friends and family, but those words never have, and never will have a place in a workplace that isn't a recording studio or on the set of the newest Showtime drama.
Only white Americans who obsess over "not" being able to use the n-word and black people who don't know any better, would view this court ruling as anything significant. The rest of us know better.
Of course Robert Carmona knew this from day one and simply got caught for being a verbally abusive boss. He could have saved himself $30,000 if he'd just listened to Flava Flav, nobody wants to be called "Yo nigger".

Is being fat normal?

Pants with expanding waistlines are sold in most stores now, and big and tall retail shops are popping up everywhere. More and more, society is moving toward the acceptance of being overweight and obese as "normal."
It's official that the United States is fat. According to the Centers for Disease Control, two thirds of Americans are obese. Even though some seem to be taking such news lightly and as if it's just a fad, it is no laughing matter. Millions of people die each year from overusing a fork, spoon and a latte.
I frequently talk with individuals who deny they even have a weight problem. They argue that God created them to eat and enjoy life to the fullest and not worry about the outcome. I've also found that overweight people often overlook their weight because they feel everyone looks like them.

It is impossible for intelligent people to look at the situation faced by young urban men in America and not conclude that something is very wrong with the group. Whether it is self-inflicted or caused by sinister external forces, the fact remains that millions of black boys have been systematically excluded from the American mainstream.
Incarceration is the most visible evidence of their plight, but mental illness, poor health, educational deficiencies, chronic unemployment, illiteracy and immature decision-making are all personal characteristics of the six-million troubled souls who can not contribute anything to their race or culture, at least not in their present state.

It's back-to-school time and students are faced with so many weighty challenges – what clothes to wear, food to eat, which hair style is best, who to hang out with and the perception of peers.
What happened to the good old days when a child could just be child? Back then a lot of these concerns really didn't matter as much because everyone tended to look and dress alike. People bought their clothes from the same five-and-dime store.
It was a rare occurrence that someone missed school or was sick. If that happened, someone went out the way and checked on them; and usually there was a health situation going on, but not for long.
We are all toxic – really?

03 Sep 2013
- Written by Dr. Timothy Moore
In the past 50 to 60 years our environment has become progressively more polluted, which has resulted in a larger human toxic burden than ever before. Chemicals are being produced, tested and introduced into our environment at a frightening rate. It doesn't matter where we are or in what part of the county we live, everyone will have some level of exposure to toxins.
These invisible toxins are in our prescription drugs, household cleaners, alcohol, tobacco, and over-the-counter drugs. It is virtually impossible to keep our bodies free of these substances, unless of course we live in a bubble.
Our bodies are composed of many organs, but our liver carries the greatest burden. The liver has the task of disposing of foreign substances, as well as body-produced hormones. We can assist in this process by providing our body with enough of the proper nutrients to help the liver function.

Fifty years, half a century, five decades – a milestone by any standard, and a sufficient passing of time to allow for deep reflection and measurement of one's relative position and progress with great expectation of significant growth and accomplishment.
One might simultaneously reflect in some disappointment with a lack of forward progress and achievement and even more so with a retardation of growth during a space of 600 months.
Understanding of both are necessary to answer the most urgent question of today: Where do we go from here?

Spanish Springs was held to three hits in a 2-0 loss to Ponderosa and then Roseville's Delany DeMello tossed a one-hitter against the local squad, leading her team to an 8-0 victory in five innings.
DeMello struck out three and walked two, relying on her defense in the dominating win.
Roseville did plenty with its bats as well, rapping out 11 hits. Kalei Levy, Taylor Brewster-McDowell and DeMello all had two hits apiece. Lollie Fitzpatrick homered and drove in four runs.
In the early game, the Cougars were only out-hit 4-3, but that was good enough as Ponderosa pitcher Paris Hallums picked up the complete game victory, striking out six, while walking five.
Skye Jerpbak had half her team's hits, including a triple, and scored both runs.
Spanish Springs (3-2) is back in action at 3:45 p.m. Thursday at Bishop Manogue.


text: 11 September 2008 archive Tweet See all show photos JUST five months after his New York Fashion Week debut in February, when he presented his well-received fall 2008, superhero-inspired collection, "Case Study N.8: Liz Goldwyn vs. Frank Miller," which was full of beautifully detailed, incredibly executed dresses, each more inventive than the last, Los Angeles designer Juan Carlos Obando was named a 2008 CFDA/VOGUE Fashion Fund finalist. Not bad for a guy who still works full-time as an advertising agency creative director. On Thursday afternoon, Obando mounted his first New York runway show to unveil the spring collection he dubbed "Case Study N.9: The Dark Reef vs. Yemaja." Although the Yoruban ocean-dwelling deity was present in the undulating pleated waves that swam across sheer black chiffon tops, in the low-slung aqua linen trousers, and in the kelp-like chiffon rope that twisted around the torso and shoulder of airy white halter gowns, this collection was really Obando's ode to the Colombian seamstresses and Los Angeles pleating experts who have shared with him their knowledge and love of impeccable, time-honored craftsmanship. His devotion to craft could be seen in the flat curved pleats that coiled around midriff-baring tops, in the tuft of feather-like ruffles that sprouted from the shoulder of a simple column gown and in the built-in cummerbund that cinched the waist of an ivory and nude goddess gown, all of which were painstakingly hand made, stitch by stitch, by Obando and the artisans from whom he is learning these age-old techniques. It would have been nice to see a bit more variety among the 20 looks shown today. But that minor quibble aside, Obando's show was a worthy follow-up to his freshman outing, and posits him squarely in the "designers worth watching" camp.

I think the idea behind this product is great, but the color I received (white) looked terrible with everything. I opened the box and never touched it again.
I didn't expect this to accommodate my Yeti-sized wrists- and of course it didn't. But I did give it to a coworker- who was intrigued. The VITA system was pointless for him (new to me, too)- but worse than that, the watch itself doesn't function as a watch (not really.) Function buttons are buried under silicone and do not depress...
So you're left with a bulky (it rises up more than one would expect) rubber band on your wrist. No thanks!)
This really is one of the worst things I've received from Birchbox! On the physical end of the product, it's much too small for a normal man's wrist. Trying to put it on caused the entire watch face to pop out displaying how flimsy and cheaply made it is. On the practical side, with many, many companies producing items that block RFID signals from chipped credit cards, here's a watch that basically BEGS thieves to steal your information. I would NEVER purchase, recommend or gift this item. Run while you still have a credit rating!
Nice little barebones watch - band was a little snug, but got more comfortable after a few wears. I've been using it on runs and hikes. It's dead simple to operate. I had been really excited about the payment and ID chip ID which sadly, is no longer an option from the company
Great for that Starbucks stop after a run. I can leave the house with just this watch. Only problem is the battery seems to die very quickly with no way to replace it, other than sending for a replacement unit.
Didn't fit well. Once I got it on, I stretched the band to the point of not covering the watch itself. Buttons were hard to press.
This watch never worked for me. The battery must have been dead from the moment I arrived and there's no way to replace it without sending it to the manufacturer and shelling out $10. This was the first birchbox I've received and I'd definitely rate it a big fat 0! I basically paid $20 for a useless rubber band and a handful of samples.
great design, i like wearing the watch. I have not yet activated the VITAnumber, so i have not experienced the full functionality of the product. concept is great, i just have apprehensions about using it.
very cool how it works. timer buttons a bit difficult to press though.
In all honesty this is a $16 watch so greatness is not to be expected. However the watch is even more poor than I anticipated. It's incredibly cheap looking and not a product that any adult with a real job would wear.
The concept is intriguing. Waving your hand to pay for stuff and having information available to first responders is a plus but for a majority of people I suspect that they will rarely be able to use the wave to pay feature and the watch is likely to go unnoticed to first responders. The hardware however is the big failure. The screen is tiny, the EL backlight is incredibly dim and the buttons are difficult to push. It's honestly frustrating to use it. The watch part itself is not actually part of the band, it is simply encased in it and the rubber around the screen will pull and stretch adding to the overall cheap feel.
If I had to find one positive it's that the watch is at least comfortable. It doesn't weigh much mainly because it doesn't consist of much and the band feels fine against the skin.
Overall however this is something that a child would wear and appreciate. It looks like it could have come from a claw machine at a supermarket and I just don't see it appealing to many adults.

Successful Dubai 2005 Airshow for Lufthansa Technik
Maintenance and overhaul contracts were signed at the International Aerospace Exhibition.
9th International Aerospace Exhibition has been a great success for German Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul (MRO) provider Lufthansa Technik.
'We have been finalizing various new agreements with the airlines and VIP operators of the region and I am pretty sure that we will come back in due time to announce further contracts which we negotiated here at the show', summarized August Wilhelm Henningsen, Chairman of the Executive Board. In a press conference held with Deutsche Lufthansa AG chairman Wolfgang Mayr-huber, the company announced its first Total Technical Support TTS® support con-tract in the Middle East with Kuwaiti private carrier Jazeera Airways, which will now operate 10 new Airbus A320 airplanes. As part of the agreement Lufthansa Technik will provide encompassing engineering services and maintenance support at Jazeera Airways' hub in Kuwait over the next ten years. Emirates Airline has signed a service contract for its Boeing fleet with Hawker Pa-cific, a 100% subsidiary of Lufthansa Technik.
The service contract entails the ex-change, overhaul and support for the landing gears of Emirates' 21 Boeing 777-200, 777-200ER and 777-300 aircraft which operate with different maximum take-off weights of 545k, 632k and 660k lbs, respectively. The first exchange is due at the end of next month and the contract will run until 2013. In the field of VIP & Executive Jet Solutions His Heighness Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of Amiri Flight Abu Dhabi and August W. Henningsen, Chairman of the Executive Board of Lufthansa Technik signed a MoU, laying the foundation for the pursuance of a potential partnership in maintaining and support-ing VIP and executive jet aircraft and their owners and operators in the Middle East market. The comprehensive product portfolio will offer the complete range of services for VIP & Executive aircraft, including FBO Services, Fueling, Ground Handling, Line Maintenance and Interior Refurbishment at Abu Dhabi International Airport. For more than 40 years Lufthansa Technik has been involved with the Middle East. Outside of Europe, the airline companies of the Middle East form now one of the key customer groups of Lufthansa Technik AG. The world's leading provider of technical airline services has assumed a variety of support tasks for nearly all the airlines of the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula states and the Arabic countries of North Af-rica. Representative examples of the many productive partnerships can be seen in two major deals: In early 2005 Gulf Air, the national airline of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Sultanate of Oman signed a Total Component Support TCS®, valued more than 100 million US Dollars. The agreement includes a sale & lease-back of components as well as their MRO and the participation in Lufthansa Technik's vast component pool. The service is offered for nine Boeing 767, six Air-bus A330, nine Airbus A340 and ten Airbus A320 with services for more than 1,400 part numbers. It's the first time that Lufthansa Technik will provide total component support and management to an airline in the Gulf Region. Qatar Airways has signed two agreements: one for the engine maintenance and over-haul of the airline's Airbus A320 fleet for the next ten years. Lufthansa Technik's En-gine Services will be servicing the different IAE V2500 engine variants of Qatar Air-ways' 17 Airbus A320 family airplanes under a Total Engine Support TES® contract. The second agreement will have Lufthansa Technik installing Rockwell Collins´ Tail-wind 560 for onboard live satellite television. Qatar Airways will become the first inter-national airline offering its passengers live TV in the sky. Despite the still tense situation in worldwide aviation services, Lufthansa Technik has complete confidence in the region and its airlines. "We will further increase our in-volvement in the region here - with technical services and knowledge transfer," said August W. Henningsen. 'Especially the opening of our office in Dubai earlier this year has had a strong and positive effect on the business relationships.'

Aurora Clinic Making a Move in Grand ForksGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The Aurora Clinic is moving. Clinic administration decided it would be best for the practice. This comes after Altru bought the building where Doctors Hospital planned to open nearly two months ago.
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The Aurora Clinic is moving. Clinic administration decided it would be best for the practice.
This comes after Altru bought the building where Doctors Hospital planned to open nearly two months ago.
Altru Health System is honoring the leases of tenants in the building, but Aurora Clinic decided it was a good time to move into a new location.
Boxes line the halls of Aurora Clinic as a big move is planned for the end of the week.
"It just ended up being a good opportunity for us, the space opened up for us and with all the changes going on here, we wanted to make sure we were able to serve our patients the way we wanted to," Aurora Clinic Office Manager Stacy Kusler said.
The clinic is moving to a space right across the parking lot from where it is now in a space that used to be occupied by the Center Of Psychiatric Care. A more convenient space for patients.
"Previously the lab has already moved out and that was a big hit for us because our patients used to be able to walk down the hall, moving into this location, they'll be able to go to the lab without having to go outside," Kusler said.
Altru Health System is honoring current tenants leases. There are several tenants that are leaving and a few who will be there for years to come.
"In this particular case they had made a decision to move their operation, which is fine, so we honored the termination of their lease and it just worked out that we'll move into that space with some of the primary care folks," Altru Chief Operating Officer Brad Wehe said.
Altru is also planning to move in an imaging center, lab, GI and endoscopy clinic, orthopedic center as well as primary and urgent care. This will happen over the next 12 months.
"As those spaces become available we would look first at that and then there's a lot of unfinished space we have to fit up," Wehe said.
Aurora Clinic will close at noon on Friday and be in the new location on Monday, April 23.

At a glance, Volbeat is the epitome of many things you would expect of the average Bug-type; poor stats and a mediocre movepool alongside insubstantial abilities are just some of the things that he has in common with fellow Pokemon of his type. However, this little firefly does possess a few interesting qualities that set him apart from his brethren. Notably, he has access to the rare combination of a +2 Special Attack-boosting move and Baton Pass, and though he's outclassed by other users of the combination, such as Plusle and Minun for the most part, he can be a decent user of it. Furthermore, he is the only Bug-type bar Shedinja who can use Trick, which gives him a unique niche as a Bug-type Choice item user. Overall, don't expect Volbeat to be amazing; he is almost always outclassed in whatever role he plays, but can be an interesting and useful team member when used correctly.
The ability to Baton Pass +2 Special Attack is a rare and coveted ability, and Volbeat is undeniably blessed to have it. While Volbeat is easily a lesser choice for this role, being outclassed by other users of the combination, such as Plusle and Minun, he is nonetheless a respectable option. However, it is hard to deny that Volbeat has a harder time fitting on teams than his fellow Baton Pass users, having poor defenses and a slew of common weaknesses. Volbeat's only real advantages lie in his resistances to Grass-, Ground-, and Fighting-type attacks and his access to Encore. Fortunately, Encore does give Volbeat a means to circumvent his poor defenses, as with the ability to lock an offensively inept Pokemon such as Registeel into a support move, Volbeat gains a slew of new opportunities to set up. Substitute is also fairly helpful in this regard; not only does it prevent Volbeat from being struck by status and provide a cushion for Volbeat, it can also be Baton Passed to another teammate. Bug Buzz can be used if you fear Taunt, but it will typically do pitiful damage against most foes due to Volbeat's pathetic Special Attack.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
While Volbeat's offenses, physical movepool, and Speed are decidedly mediocre, he has one saving grace in his access to Trick, which gives him a slight niche as a Bug-type Choice item user. This, in tandem with U-turn's ability to scout the opposing team, can make Volbeat tricky to play around, since defensive Pokemon will be crippled by Trick, and offensive Pokemon will take a chunk of damage from U-turn. Furthermore, U-turn will help keep momentum in your favor, as well as doing somewhat respectable damage, despite Volbeat's poor Attack stat, and it's Volbeat's strongest STAB option. Brick Break nails Steel-types such as Registeel and Aggron, and with a Choice Scarf, Volbeat can outspeed +2 Adamant Aggron and do hefty damage to it. Zen Headbutt complements Brick Break and U-turn's coverage by hitting Poison-types who resist them for super effective damage, as well as offering neutral coverage on Ghost-types who take minute damage from U-turn and are immune to Brick Break. Alternatively, Ice Punch and ThunderPunch are options to hit other specific foes – Flying-types, in particular – for super effective damage, though they don't hit as many important foes as Zen Headbutt does. Quick Attack is also usable as a form of priority, but it is pitifully weak.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Volbeat's movepool is marginally larger than other Bug-types, though this isn't really saying much. For offensive options, Volbeat's special movepool consists of useful and interesting moves such as Thunderbolt, Giga Drain, Shadow Ball, Water Pulse, Charge Beam, and Hidden Power, which can be used alongside Tail Glow, though they'll still be depressingly weak even after a boost. Physically, Volbeat's movepool is barren, with only Double-Edge and Focus Punch as noteworthy options. While both of these attacks have their merits; the former in having an attack that has great neutral coverage, and the latter in hitting Steel-types extremely hard, both typically aren't worth using. In the support department, Volbeat has a few useful options such as Confuse Ray and Thunder Wave, which can be utilized to form the irritating ParaFusion strategy, Roost, which can heal Volbeat, as well as Rain Dance and Sunny Day for weather support. However, due to Volbeat's poor defenses, these options are usually better used by another Pokemon.
Checks and Counters
Poor defenses, a barely above-average Speed, weak offensive stats, and a truckload of weaknesses all combine to make Volbeat an easy Pokemon to defeat. Most Pokemon that can outspeed Volbeat will typically be able to KO or at least severely damage him; notable examples include Swellow, Scyther, and Moltres, and they can also take most of Volbeat's attacks with ease. Bulky Pokemon also do well due to Volbeat's mediocre offenses. Rhyperior, Aggron, and Donphan are superb choices, possessing the ability to smash Volbeat's lights out with ridiculously strong attacks. Milotic is a fine choice as well, and her access to Haze allows her to be a surefire counter against any Volbeat set. Finally, Stealth Rock is a huge thorn in this firefly's side, as Volbeat is simply too frail to switch into any attack after Stealth Rock has chipped 25% of its health away.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
"When we began our nationwide search, we sought a welcoming community with a skilled workforce and vital economy. We found all that and more in Oklahoma City."

Wakonda students get involved with local theatre True, Wakonda High School is big on sports; it takes pride in its wins and achievements. However, it doesn't offer many of the arts. Where does this leave the students interested in the arts?
As most people know, Yankton has its Dakota Theater, located on Walnut Street. Two students and one teacher from Wakonda School have participated in a few of the productions showing there.
Courtney Nelson, a WHS junior, was in the shows Oliver and The Odd Couple that previewed there.
"Never have I met so many awesome people in one place; these people were amazing and I still remain friends with them to this day." said Nelson.
Mackenzie Huber, a fifth-grader, also participated in the newest show, Charlotte's Web.
"It was interesting to see how everyone got ready for shows and how they built the sets. I met so many nice people at theater and it was a lot of fun," said Huber.
The new production Dracula is showing on Oct. 28-30. Ms. White, Wakonda High School special education teacher, is assistant director of the play.
"Assistant director is much more different from director because you don't have to do much work," she said. "I just give my input and if they like it, they like it, if not, then not."
Ms. White said she was shy before she started acting and when she became comfortable with the people she was more open and outgoing onstage and off.
Studies show that kids are more comfortable in meeting new people when they participate in the arts, especially theater and ballet.
So join a theater company in your local area or just do some acting at your school.

NewsPress Release: 11/15/01Dance Performance at Marlboro Includes Student and Faculty Work
MARLBORO, VT - On Friday, November 30, and Saturday, December 1, at 8 p.m., Marlboro College will present a dance performance entitled, "Visual Aphorisms," in the Whittemore Theater.
The performance will include presentations of original student choreography, as well as works by dance faculty members Zoe Mass Fyfe, Dana Holby, and Alison Mott. The faculty works will be performed by the Marlboro College Performance Workshop.
The Performance Workshop was first formed in spring 2000 to offer an opportunity for student-dancers to work on a repertory that would challenge their talents and give performance and choreographic outlets. Each semester, students must audition for membership. This fall's members include Emily Amanna, Shura Baryshnikov, Jennifer Bilodeau, Alexis Brown, Margot Fivash, RoseAnna Harrison, and Cullen Schneider. The group has rehearsed many hours each week this semester in anticipation of these performances on the Marlboro campus, as well as possible performances in China during spring break 2001.
According to Marlboro Dance Professor Dana Holby, the rehearsals have featured "a lot of extremely wonderful work, with a very positive sense of growing, working as a group, and looking forward to putting more energy into learning Chinese culture, history and language along with perfecting our performance."
Visual Aphorisms will include a new quartet piece by Fyfe; three works by Mott (two re-creations called "Interlopers" and "Rewind" and one new piece of choreography); and four new pieces by Holby (a dance, two solos -- one of which will be accompanied by the Marlboro Women's Chorus-- and a media piece in collaboration with Marlboro students Hilary Baker and Emily Downs).
Admission to the performance is free and open to the public. The Whittemore Theater is fully accessible. For more information, please call 257-4333 or visit the college online at http://www.marlboro.edu.

Review of Chris Evert, Lindsay Davenport, Justin Gimelstob on 'CSI'
Tennis hit network TV on Wednesday night. Chris Evert, Lindsay Davenport and Justin Gimelstob guest-starred on a tennis-themed episode of CBS' CSI. The plot: The murder of an up-and-coming tennis player found dead after beating her older doubles partner to make the finals of a Premier tournament. Yes, they actually said "Premier tournament." How's that for accuracy?
The episode, titled "Double Fault," is currently streaming at CBS.com and features Evert and Davenport doing commentary, Gimelstob splattered in blood and a whole host of horrible tennis-related scenarios.
Hmm … she sounds familiar: Another tennis player dealing with questions about her longevity as she's pushing 30 in a strained marriage with her loving husband who also serves as her coach. Oh, and she had to get him another hotel room because he snored. Does that sound like a certain Australian Open finalist to you? Li Na should get royalties.
Only in Hollywood: On match point, our fallen heroine, Claudia, nets a first serve and then hits a 120-mph second serve ace out wide. Girl, you crazy!
Killer forehand: Hey, they said it, not me. But, yes, a tennis racket is the murder weapon, obviously. Though it should be noted that they were able to get DNA evidence from the grip tape. Savvy.
You cannot be serious!: Obligatory McEnroeian argument with the umpire followed up with a Zvonarevian racket-breaking temper tantrum. Yup, that's tennis all right.
Sweep the leg!: First of all, I was unaware that the Oscar-nominated Elizabeth Shue (for Leaving Las Vegas, not for Cocktail, sadly) was even on this show. The avid tennis player shows off some sound volleying technique as she interrogates Evert on the court.
And, finally, here are the four worst tennis puns uttered in the episode. Brutal.
• "Who says tennis isn't a blood sport?"
• "She may have won the match, but she took a beating on the court."
• "So instead of serving aces, all you'll be serving … is time."
• "Game, set, murder."

"I'd like to welcome you to the IET's Security for Mobile Devices seminar. Mobile security is a huge topic compared with 10 years ago. Mobile phones now touch every aspect of our lives and is increasingly taking the central role in control of our everyday activities from our homes, cars and work place.
"GSM has been the underpinning technology for most mobility for a while now but how long can we rely on security designed well over 20 years ago?
"What happens when new machine-to-machine services sit on top of old technology?
"Mobile devices are becoming much more enticing for cyber criminals and it won't be a surprise that the bad guys use their own mobile devices as much as anyone, making forensics a key topic. For users, they are being told that they need security software for mobile devices, but is it really necessary? Is malware really the threat that we're told it is and how will the traditional anti-virus industry evolve into new more secure platforms?
"Unfortunately mobile devices leave a huge gaping hole in corporate policies and companies have struggled to deal with the problem. Recently, the concept of BYOD – Bring Your Own Device has taken hold. Although appearing to solve problems for both the business and the user, it brings additional challenges which could be just as much of an issue for security.
"This day will bring together government speakers and leading security professionals to discuss developments in mobile forensics, creating effective and sustainable policies and addressing challenges for the future. I'm delighted to be involved and hope to welcome key players from around the industry to London on 20 June."
- David Rogers, Mobile Technology, Cyber Security & Standards, Department for Business, Innovation & Skills
Find out more about the seminar.
Take the opportunity to attend this one day seminar which will bring together keynote speakers to share and exchange their expert knowledge and experiences on mobile security and their thoughts on the BYOD strategy.

Registration is now open for Security for Mobile Devices seminar.
With a special opening address from Mike Short, IET President - register today to join the decision makers and key industry players!

LAKE PLACID - The Lake Placid Volunteer Fire Department responded to a report of a possible drowning on Mirror Lake at 7:45 p.m. Thursday with two trucks, two boats and 33 members.
Volunteers said an athlete from out of town was practicing the Ironman race course and got turned around. She was quickly found and was in good health when she was located and brought back to shore in a boat, volunteers said.
The department called in Saranac Lake's dive team and boat, but the woman was located before that boat was put in the water.
Volunteers were back in service at 8:30 p.m.

i am so disappointed as I love the CSI programmes but each time I have tried to watch on 5 they are either advertised but unavailable or the progremme persistantly stalls. I have no problem watching any other channels just this one. I cannot believe that 5 Bosses have not acted on comments of the numerous viewers that have informed them of the ongoing issues. Shame on you.

What pathetic media hype. Why do people assume that a verditc of mental illness means less time locked up? Or that someone could fool psychiatrists for so long or that the idea this man will ever be relaesed.Typical daily mail style hysteria. Also mentally ill does not mean retarded. Grow up.

General Dynamics (GD) said it would not ask the congressional Government Accountability Office to rule on a U.S. Army vehicle competition that it says is skewed to favor its rival, Britain's BAE Systems (BAESY), according to Reuters, citing a statement from a General Dynamics spokesman. The spokesman said, "We will continue to discuss the AMPV program with the U.S. Department of Defense and the Congress.

Secretary of State Bennett Releases Latest Voter Registration Figures
Voter Registration Remains Strong
PHOENIX – Secretary of State Ken Bennett today released the latest statewide voter registration figures compiled as of July 1, 2009. After passing the 3 million registered voters mark back in January, voter registration figures have continued to climb. Since April, the state has seen an increase of 15,751 new voters. This increase brings the total state registrants to 3,103,747.
While some political parties have benefited from this growth, others have experienced a decline. There are now 1,135,199 registered Republicans statewide, a decrease of 2,063 since April. Registered Democrats now total 1,045,090, a decrease of 1,090. Both the Libertarian and Green parties saw an increase in registered voters with Libertarians gaining 1,024 voters for a total of 21,280 while the Green party added 19 registered voters for a total of 4,229.
Arizonans registered as Independents or as members of unrecognized parties are grouped together in the "Other" category on the voter registration figures. The voters in that group now total 897,989, an increase of 17,861 since April.
Secretary of State Bennett stated, "It is wonderful to see Arizonans continuing to exercise their right to freely choose their leaders. My office will continue to reach out to Arizona citizens, regardless of political affiliation, in an effort to encourage them to engage in the democratic process."
Secretary Bennett added, "I am grateful for the continued hard work of the county recorders, without whom none of this would be possible."
A copy of the voter registration figures by county is included with the press release. Copies are also available at the Secretary of State's office on the 7 th Floor of the State Capitol, or by calling the Election Services Division at 602-542-8683 or 1-877-THE VOTE (1-877-843-8683), or by visiting the Secretary of State's Web site at www.azsos. gov .

Date: November 18, 2009
by: Heidi Kurpiela | A&E Editor
The biggest difference between Robert de Warren the author and Robert de Warren the ballet director is movement. Even at 76, de Warren, the retired artistic director of Sarasota Ballet, doesn't sit still — unless he's in his Bird Key home, holed up in his study, writing with vivid clarity stories pulled from his life.
De Warren's 402-page memoir, "Destiny's Waltz: In Step with Giants," published in July by Eloquent Books, not only required stillness, it gave de Warren, a man who has spent more than four decades directing and choreographing ballets, back pain so nagging his doctor ordered him to stretch every hour.
"I'm one of those people who can get lost in their work, no matter what it is," de Warren says. "Ballet taught me how to concentrate and focus, but I've never had to be sedentary."
He trusted his storytelling instincts and let the words flow for long periods of time despite his doctor's orders. Often, his wife, Jacqueline, to whom the book is dedicated, would enter his office at night, snapping de Warren out of a trance-like state, urging him to go to bed.
"I suppose, in a way, there's a similarity between choreographing and writing," he says, crossing his legs and smiling. "There's vocabulary and expression. When I'm choreographing, I get a sequence of ideas in my head and I have to get them out as they appear. I'm not one of those choreographers who plans every movement in advance."
When de Warren turned in his first draft at 350,000 words, his editors insisted he whittle it in half. When he pruned it down to 120,000 words, they asked him to beef it back up.
"Prose is so much more complicated," de Warren says. "Your ideas have to be succinct. Writing has taught me how to measure my ideas with as few words as possible."
The book's original titled, "Dance My Destiny," was changed to "Destiny's Waltz," and its subtitle, "In Step with Giants," was a suggestion from friend Michael Halpern, a longtime Sarasota Ballet patron.
The memoir was mostly inspired by his experiences in Iran, where he lived for 11 years while he directed the National Ballet of Iran and, later, the Mahalli Dancers of Iran, a job that introduced him to British and Persian royalty, including the Shah of Iran and his wife, the Empress Farah Pahlavi, with whom he still communicates.
He started writing the book in 1980, shortly after leaving the Middle East following the Iranian Revolution, but was soon forced to abandon the project after being appointed artistic director of Northern Ballet Theatre Company, in West Yorkshire, England, and later, La Scala Theatre Ballet, in Milan, Italy.
"It wasn't all rosy," says de Warren, mentioning the last chapter in the book in which he describes his time spent by Rudolf Nureyev's bedside. The famous Russian ballet dancer, who was a close friend and colleague, died of AIDS in 1993.
"If anything," de Warren says, "I wished I had written it sooner. Some things I look back on and I wonder, 'What on earth was I thinking?' But I suppose that's how it goes when you're writing about your life. You must be truthful and sincere no matter how crooked or wicked or nice."

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Elmwood Neighborhood > Episode 2: Appliances and Deck Installed
Mahogany Deck and Kitchen Appliances
At the Gothic Carpenter-style home in the Elmwood neighborhood of Providence, RI, plaster and blue board are going up, and the pine floor is going down.
In addition to a granite countertop, new Whirlpool appliances are installed. Other new features in the kitchen include Shrock cabinets, a Vermont Castings gas stove, and lighting design (from Markus Earley) that depends on Restoration-style fixtures from Rejuvenation Lamp & Fixture Co. Outside, contractor Brian Wiggin completes the new deck.

Outside, contractor Brian Wiggin completes the new deck.
- Part 1: Installing a Granite Countertop and Kitchen Cabinets
- Part 2: Mahogany Deck and Kitchen Appliances
- The plumber is installing a Kohler toilet in the new half-bath. The homeowner, Luke, and some helpers are cooperating to install French doors that will open onto the small deck.
The deck is a traditional structure composed of pressure-treated lumber and four-by-four posts set on concrete footings. In the kitchen, installers put in new Whirlpool appliances.
Lighting designer Marcus Early has employed fixtures from the Rejuvenation Lamp and Fixture Company and other sources. For instance, the ambient light is provided by Belfry, and the decorative lights are made of Murano glass by the Laicose Company. Also in use are adjustable pinhole accent lights by Cooper Lighting. Controlling all the lights is a Lightolier handheld remote.
- Part 3: Installing a Gas Fireplace and Refinishing the Hardwood Floor
The theme of community building in the historic Elmwood neighborhood of Providence, RI, is the focus of this project. Rather than tackling one house, Bob Vila is helping 11 neighbors tackle smaller projects like porches, kitchens, bathrooms, and even a third-floor artist's studio.
Also from Elmwood Neighborhood
Episode 1 - Kitchen Project BeginsDescription:
In the historic Elmwood neighborhood of Providence, RI, Bob talks with Mary Turkel and Bob Major (from the Providence Preservation Cooperative) about the changes taking place in the area. Bob also meets Jane and Luke Driver, whose kitchen renovation is one of the smaller scale projects Bob plans to cover. As demolition work begins, so too does plumbing and electrical. Also to come is a new kitchen floor made from reclaimed Pine.
Episode 3 - Bathroom Renovation BeginsDescription:
Bob visits Pat and Roger Simons, homeowners undertaking a bathroom renovation. The plan is to redesign the layout, but keep some of the original features-- the mosaic tiles in the floor, for example.

 Bob helps Terry Bates (from Mult-R) with the demolition, and carpenter Bob Ryley is on hand to help with the insulation. A new tub is put in, along with a new stackable washer/dryer.

 Lighting designer Markus Earley talks about the lighting in the new bathroom, plus an innovative hydronic heating system.

 Last, Bob goes to Pat's studio, where her daughter, PK, is helping create a beautiful tile mural that will go in the shower.
Episode 4 - Sunroom and Hot TubDescription:
The third Elmwood project surrounds the addition of a sunroof and hot tub to an eclectic home in the neighborhood, often referred to as as the "castle" or the "haunted house."

 Homeowners Peter Karczmar and Cathy Lund have been working with restoration contractor Joe Wagner. Joe has done a great deal of work in the sunroom to reinforce the deck above, so it can support a hot tub. (Also, Forester Moulding has created reproductions of the deck's original railings).

Worth every penny
By Marsha
from Kissimmee, Florida
I ordered this piece because I loved the style. My hair is straight , and I always wanted long curly, wavy hair. As I became older I decided I was going to try different things, and since my hair was thinning some that was the first thing I was going to try. It was an excellent choice. It's beautiful. You can wear it in different ways, I live in Florida, and it's hot so I wear it when I go out on special occasions or I pin it up. I would definitely recommend this wig to everyone if you like this style. Thank you Paula Young for your awesome wigs and hair pieces. Marsha
Absolutely the best!
By Pretty Woman
from New York
I love the way I look in this wig. I grew up listening to the girl groups of the 60s and I love lots of curls and big hair. This hair works well with glamorous outfits and accessories. I don't like to wear in when I want to look sporty and casual. It is so special!

What is Belching?
Belching, also known as burping (medical term is called aerophagia) is quite natural and happens in all of us. It can be uncomfortable but most of all, very embarrassing! It is considered socially unacceptable but in some cultures, belching after eating is a sign of appreciation for the meal.
When too much air is swallowed into the body and the body tries to get rid of this excess air, gas can build in the stomach and digestive system and work its way up through the throat – and thus belching occurs.

Welcome to the Jessie Rees Foundation
|On March 3, 2011 eleven year old Jessica Joy Rees was diagnosed with an inoperable and incurable brain tumor called DIPG. That same month Jessie started her treatment consisting of 30 rounds of radiation and daily chemotherapy at Children's Hospital Orange County.It was also during this time she asked her parents, "How can we help them?".She was referring to all of the other kids fighting cancer.Jessie had a burden for her peers and decided to do something about it. She also wanted to encourage them to with her little motto "NEGU", which stands for "Never Ever Give Up." This simple little thought has become "Jessie's Wish".Jessie dreamed of the day that her little motto would become an inspiring message of hope to every child and family.
Ten months and two days later, Jessie lost her fight on January 5, 2012. On that day she also left behind a global movement of compassion that her foundation continues with the support of amazing corporations, athletes, charities, volunteers and people like you!
As of March 2014, the Jessie Rees Foundation has been able to reach over 80,000 children fighting cancer in all 50 states and 27 countries.
